Counseling Counts

Our Approach

Counseling Counts uses a two-tiered approach to meeting its mission

Tier 1

Change Counselor Time Usage

By having a coordinator whose role will be to align resources and access tocommunity resources, counselors will be able to focus more on face-to-face time with the students in areas ofcounseling and guidance.

Identify students earlier with personal/social issues

Ensure students with mental health needs are identified, and all students are socially and emotionally healthy toachieve academic, college, and career success.

Develop a Community/School Based “Wrap Around” Services System

Align with community resources to increase access, remove barriers for students and eliminate mental healthstigmas by creating a cross-sector continuum of mental health services and empowers students to discuss their mentalhealth issues and eliminates the stigma around such conversations.
